Refuses To Grant Secret File Access Fiat Refusal Made By Secretary Weeks WASHINGTON (INS) —Commerce secretary Sinclair Weeks flatly refused today to give house investigators access to private, files on the government’s dollar a year business advisers. At the same time. Rep. Emanuel Celler (D N. Y„) warned that Walter White, executive director of- the business advisory council, might be held in contempt of congress for failing to produce the files. White appeared under subpoena before Celler’s judiciary subcommittee, which is investigating the influence of dollar a year men on government policies. Weeks said in a two page letter to Celler it would not be in the public interest for his department to “comply with requests for indiscriminate examination and publication of its files." The secretary added it would be a violation of- the constitutional principle of separation of powers for him to hand over the files to digressions! investigators. White told the subcommittee he is powerless to produce the files since he does not possess or control them. In addition, he claimed that information contained in the files was outside the jurisdiction of the Cellar subcommittee which was established to study anti-trust law’s. • Celler also took issue with the secretary’s contention that publication of the files would not be in the public interest. He said “it is important that the public know something of the activities’’ of the advisory council. He insisted his subcommittee “would never make public files contrary to public- interest, particularly those that would impugn the national security.” 65 Junior Leaders Enjoy Swim Party Despite the coo] breeze. 65 junior leaders enjoyed a swimming party followed by a popcorn pop at Pine Lake Monday evening.

Federal Agencies Undergoing Survey Study Information Given For Public WASHINGTON (INS) — House investigators began a survey of all federal agencies today todetcrmine whether government information is being made “sufficiently available" to the public.

Limberlost Archery Range Is Completed

The Limberlost archery club, composed of bowmen in and around Decatur, has completed a set-target field archery range located in the woods at Sun Set park, three miles southeast of Decatur. Practice has been in progress by club members and it is reported to be one of the "tougheet” courses iu the middle west. George Stolts, chib president, has called a special meeting at the range Friday evening at 7; 30 o’clock for the purpose of planning future activities and accepting new members. Many good archers of the area have notified the club of their intentions to join, and mtany /.her interested persons have been contacted to atend this meeting. Any one else interested in this fast growing sport is in* vited to attend. Any one caring to try out the range is urged to come to the site early Friday with his tackle. The Limberlost club, first of its kind in the county, and the only one in this area, was organised as a field range club in May by a group of men interested in the sport from a hunter’s viewpoint, and in engaging in bow shooting under conditions most closely simulating those found when bunting, For the past several weeks, club members have been working during spare time laying and constructing the range according to NFAA standards. The range has 14 targets set at Varying distances from 35 feet to 80 yards over rough terrain, no two successive targets at the same distance. Archers are required to shoot from standing, kneeling and angle position. Targets are located to be shot at through the crotch of a tree, sortie through the leaves, others are located so that distance is deceptive. The range has also been constructed for safety of shqoters. A decription of the field course is necessary to acquaint the novice of the casual observer. The targets are set so that those shooting proceed very much like golfers. Shooting is from a firing line or white stakes at a prescribed distance from the target. The stakes tell the position which must be shot and how many arrows from each position. Each contestant is allowed only four arrows at each target. According to the distance being shot, targets very in size, 6 inch, 12 inch. 18 inch and 24 inch, each having an animal face. A bullseye counts five and a ring three-pointe shooting four arrows at a target, members of the “foursome’’ figure their scores and withdraw their arrows before proceeding to the next shooting position. A standard course is 28 targets but where a club such as the local one has only 14, twice around is considered equitable. Two limes around or 56 targets is a tournament round in field archery, with a possible of 1,120 points. With the Sun Set course in tournament condition, plans will be made at Friday night’s meeting for handicapping members with a ser-

Governor Os Ohio Praised By Craig Says Lausche Best Presidential Bet CHICAGO (INS) — "Lausche for President” promoters had a valuable ally at the national governors conference today—Republican Governor George N. Craig of Indiana. The GOP governor declared that Democrats would be “putting their best foot forward" if they nominated Ohio’s governor for president. Craig described Lausche as a “highly respected statesman, liked by both Democrats and Republicans.” Asked about New York Gov. Averell Harriman’s chances, Craig said: "He would get fewer votes than Alf Landon did in 1936.” Craig observed that the leadership of the Democratic party seemed to be moving southward — and into the hands of such men as Sens. Harry Byrd of Virginia. Walter George and .Richard Russell of Georgia, and Govs. Allan Shivers of Texas and Robert F. Kennon of Louisiana. Craig said that if President Eisenhower fails to run again, the GOP would be “in a great mess.” But he quickly added that he expected Mr. Eisenhower to be the 1956 candidate.
